yidahoo

I think you absolutely hit the nail on the head.

There is an MD11 in development for X-Plane 10 although it is a long way off yet as they are still finishing up on their MD82: Details are here. http://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/forums/topic/106394-mcdonnell-douglas-md-11-md-11f-project-by-ats/

You are entitled to your opinion no matter how wrong it is. IXEG 737 a flying rock. Wow, just wow

As someone who started simming in the Bruce Artwick days, the thing that frustrates me most about today's flight sims are the people that are constantly complaining about them. Frankly, we have never had it so good.

The hint is in the name of the forum

It would not be a good idea to start sharing orthos. Most of them use data from Google Earth or Bing Maps, to distribute them in any form would be breaching their intellectual property. They could potentially come down pretty hard on anyone doing that. Its the reason you do not see orthos being shared anywhere. Either make them for your personal use or buy them from someone who has paid for the license to use the data

I am no IT expert but I think this is wrong. X-Plane will always save its files to it's own folder and not anywhere else. The idea of giving the .exe files administrator status is to make sure that the X-Plane folder has the relevant permission to read and write files to itself. Sometime when any folder is copied to another location, the read/write permissions can change making saving files an issue. Feel free to correct me if this is wrong.

If you like 737's then you should take a look at the IXEG 737-300. In many respects it surpasses PDMG's 737. particularly when it comes to sheer immersion and enjoyment

I was lucky enough to fly in the very front seat of a Boeing 747-400. British Airways Barbados to Gatwick. That was very comfortable

A quick search through these very forums will reveal PMDGs reasoning for it. But in short it was partly a labour of love for this type of plane and partly because it gave PMDG the opportunity to develop a new plane on a new platform without having to delve into the complexities of modern glass cockpits and as test bed to port a product developed for X-Plane over to FSX/P3D rather than vice versa

Your post got locked.

Ah the person that gave fake credentials at X-Aviation, complained about it at X-Plane.org and got closed down and now trying to complain about it here. I cannot see any reason for giving false credentials other than attempted fraud, you will find very little sympathy from most X-Plane users or X-Aviation customers.

Basically PMDG are ignoring the FSX users by making them a 747v3.

Just realised what the forum was, although not so "obviously" as I came to it from the Recently Discussed Topics.

There is an official Rotatesim forum at.org

Support for X-Plane?

If he did that, he would have to change his name again to The Installed

Exactly

I heard a rumour that PMDG are going to develop add ons for it.

Charging separately for Mac and Windows versions is a bit disappointing, I am not sure of any X-Plane devs that do that.

If you have been looking forward to it for so long, I would have presumed you have been following the forums, where you would have learnt, firstly it was being released for X-Plane then later for FSX and P3D.

I would imagine that they would sell it direct from their store initially at least. I bought the 737NG for P3D there with no problems. I cannot comment on support personally as I have had no problems but from what I have heard from people that have needed support, its always been prompt and helpful. PMDG are probably the biggest name in third party addons for the flight sim industry, I am sure you will have no issues.

Switch on Extended DFS in Rendering Settings it loads the tiles around the one you are flying in for a seamless view out to the horizon

Quite a lot of X-Plane aircraft have reflections on displays, the IXEG ones are excellent. Be interesting to see in the DC6 has them on the gauge glass Jason Row

There are two tools that make scenery insallation a breeze in X-Plane. Firstly Tom Knudsen's library installer. This will install pretty much all the third party libraries for you in the correct location http://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/files/file/30252-x-plane-library-installer/ Secondly, X-Organiser will arrange the sceneries in the right order, allow you to activate/deactivate plugins and even start up X-Plane for you. http://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/files/file/31085-xorganizer-windows/ Jason Row
